Izuzetni leševi / Svakom svoje

Leonardo Sciascia

Extraordinary Corpses and Each to His Own are two of the most famous political-crime novels by Leonardo Sciascia, an Italian writer and essayist who, through literature, dissected the mechanisms of power, corruption, and evil in contemporary society, espe

Both novels explore the deep-rooted relationships between the mafia, the judiciary, politics and ordinary people, with an emphasis on the moral and existential crisis of the individual in a world where justice is becoming increasingly abstract.

In "To Each His Own", the plot begins with the murder of a village pharmacist, which seems personal, but gradually reveals a network of political, mafia and social interests. The main character, Professor Laurana, tries to use logic and intellect to expose the crime, but his search for the truth ends tragically - which speaks of the powerlessness of the individual in the face of a system of silence and fear.

"Exceptional Corpses" depicts a series of political assassinations of high-ranking judicial officials, which raises the question: has the law become a means of power, not justice? The investigator in the novel gradually realizes that he is trapped in a situation where no one is interested in the truth - neither the system nor the public. The novel acts as an allegory of authoritarianism, showing how democracy can also turn into a repressive mechanism.

Sciascia writes precisely, ironically and intellectually deeply. His characters are not classic heroes – they are moral seekers in a world without landmarks. These novels, although styled as crime stories, are actually philosophical and political reflections on truth, power and responsibility.
